Schools preview: All roads lead to Paarl

An action-packed weekend of schools rugby derbies across the country is highlighted by the ever-popular Interschools match between Paarl Boys’ High and Paarl Gimnasium on Saturday.

Paarl Gim and Paarl Boys’ High resume their rivalry this Saturday in a Premier Interschools clash.

The 104th match between the two schools is set to kick off at 4pm and take place at the Faure Street Stadium in Paarl.

The competitive nature of the derby is reflected in the average winning margin between the two schools which is only five points in over 100 games played. There have been 11 draws between them and three of those ended 0-0, the last one coming in 1986. Both teams will have to fight for victory and Paarl bragging rights.

However, the Paarl Interschools is not the only big derby taking place on Saturday, with Grey High set to host Grey College, while DHS take on Northwood, Affies face Waterkloof and KES clash with Jeppe.

New Zealand U20 score in dying minutes to draw with South Africa U20

Image
Staff members from Sunshine Coast Stadium were on the pitch with leaf blowers and brooms an hour and a half before the inaugural Rugby Championship U20 match began, attempting to clear the numerous puddles that covered the pitch. The "Sunshine Coast" had delivered some less than ideal weather for the historic event, but the rain stopped as the teams passed the big, gleaming trophy. With 90 seconds remaining, South Africa had a narrow lead thanks to a scoring spurt in the third quarter, setting up a historically close test between the two well-known rivals. The kickoff demonstrated the difficulty of the conditions; the drop kick hardly cleared the turf, resulting in a shaky kick that drifted into the path of Liam Jack of New Zealand. During the first scrum,  New Zealand  was awarded a penalty; however, a misdirected throw by the referee cost the Kiwis their first lineout. Every step sent water spraying off the pitch, and each catch required focus, resulting in a lot of kicks

All Blacks vs Springboks Rugby: La meta di Tommaso Allan nel fine settimana precedente all’inizio del Sei Nazioni 2023

La meta di Tommaso Allan nel fine settimana precedente all’inizio del Sei Nazioni 2023 Il reparto trequarti dell’Italia prova a mandare un messaggio verso l’imminente inizio del Sei Nazioni 2023. Dopo le due mete di Ange Capuozzo, nel fine settimana del Top14 con la maglia del Tolosa, anche Tommaso Allan, in Premiership con la casacca degli Harlequins, ha messo a referto una segnatura pesante. Meta che però, nel match dei suoi Harlequins contro i London Irish di Fischetti e Morisi, non è servita per raddrizzare una partita persa 42-24. Leggi anche, Video: la doppietta di Ange Capuozzo contro Montpellier La meta di Tommaso Allan nel fine settimana precedente all’inizio del Sei Nazioni 2023 Azione incredibile di Nick David che semina mezza difesa avversaria prima di essere placcato a 5 metri dalla linea di meta, poi trasmissione veloce dal punto d’incontro, palla riaperta al largo per Tommaso Allan che trova l’intervallo giusto e in maniera facile va oltre schiacciando l’ovale.

Unbeaten Blitzboks march on

South Africa qualified for the sevens quarter-finals at the Commonwealth Games after a convincing win against Tonga in Birmingham on Friday. The South Africans led 17-5 at the break after a good first-half performance, two tries by Christie Grobbelaar and one by skipper Siviwe Soyizwapi putting the men in green and gold in control, while Tonga hit back with a five-pointer on the stroke of half time. JC Pretorius and Sako Makata added tries in the first three minutes of the second half to stretch SA’s lead to 29-5, but they then lost Mfundo Ndhlovu to a dangerous tackle by Tonga’s John Ika, who was red carded. After Ndhlovu was stretchered off the field, Dewald Human had the final say with a try, which he converted himself to seal the deal for Neil Powell’s men. Earlier, Angelo Davids scored a hat-trick as the Blitzboks ran in eight unanswered tries in a 46-0 win over Malaysia. SA face undefeated Scotland on Saturday (1:18pm) to decide the winners of pool B.
